Description

Mel Melrose is getting ready to be a bridesmaid in her brother’s wedding and the bridesmaids’ dresses that “won’t be over-the-top” have actually raised the bar for over-the-top. These dresses are poofier than poof even before the full-crinoline enhancement and the colour can only be described as construction cone orange. Unfortunately, atrocious wedding attire and drunken bridal showers aren’t her only stressors—Mel’s career is turned upside down with the addition of a personal translator, a run in with a sea mammal and a television commercial producer with an affinity for very large dogs. Any attempts to find solace at home in the arms of Charlie Brown are foiled by Charlie Brown’s sudden infatuation with all things modern dance—especially a new-age blogger named Undulating Ursula. Control freak Mel is on the edge even before her neighbours produce a stash of lawn adornments that rival Disney’s “It’s A Small World” in both taste and number; now something really has to give…and quickly. Will Mel manage to clamber off the edge with her four-inch heels intact, or will she discover that maybe, just maybe, Prada boots aren’t the answer to all of life’s hurdles?
